 Kevin J. Turner is the President of Strategic World Impact, an organization committed to working in the "hot spots" of the world.
For eighteen years, Kevin has been working in the world's most restricted and dangerous areas, witnessing suffering firsthand and encountering life-threatening situations. On more than one occasion, Kevin has been forced to run for his life as shelling and other attacks have taken place. During these years, Kevin worked in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia for four years during the war.
Southeast Asia is another targeted area for him, as he's made several trips smuggling Bibles into restricted nations there. He has photographed prison camps for pastors in the jungles, and has established short wave radio projects so tribal people can hear the Gospel.
For the past 11 years, Kevin’s work has focused on sharing the Gospel with unreached people groups in Sudan, and also helping the persecuted in Sudan’s neighboring nation, Eritrea. Additionally, for the past 7 years Kevin has been working in Pakistan, establishing a school to help children get a good Christian education and simultaneously working amongst the peoples in nearby villages.
Kevin has testified before Congress regarding religious persecution in North Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos and Sudan in an effort to establish laws protecting international citizens. He also assisted in developing a task force on persecution, which currently reports to the President through the State Department.
Since coming to Christ in a dramatic way in January of 1989, Kevin has ministered on the streets of the United States, worked in the inner city, appeared as a guest on many television programs including The 700 Club, spoken on hundreds of radio programs, ministered in over 100 countries and been on the frontlines in conflicts from Central America to Africa.
He frequently leads teams into the desperate nations of the world, ensuring that the help intended for the local people reaches its intended recipients. He is also networked with many other global ministries, assisting with coordination and delivery. He is frequently asked to address the U.S. Military in areas of NGO cooperation and briefings of sensitive areas to military intelligence.
Kevin has a passion for the Lord and His Kingdom that has no bounds. He once said that his only desire was to get one more Bible into the hands of one more person who did not have one already.
Kevin believes that this world is not looking for a better sermon on love, but a better demonstration of it.
